The purpose of this report is to analyse the historical movement of US’s major indexes
beyond their 10 Week Moving Average, 20 Week Moving Average and 40 week moving
average. Benefit of this study would be:-
One can set realistic expectation out of each sector in its each bullish or bearish
move.
If the specific sector has over run and is way beyond its historic overshoot, one can
think of going under weight on particular sector. (Definition:- Overshoot is the
%age amount the stock has moved beyond its specific moving average)
Moving Averages are lagging indicators and if followed we miss near tops to exit
and near bottoms to enter. However, if we know the average standard deviation
expected from index, we can be in better position to take a well informed and
objective investment decision.
The overshoot %ages, can we kept as an stop loss or profit booking points. It will
reduce the variance and increase the returns/trade due to pre-determined low
deviation entry and exit.
One would be saved from wild swings in markets that come once in while or
decades, but once they come they wipe out more than 50% of the value.
For the purpose of study, following indexes were taken(Weekly data from -as mentioned -to
today):-

Conclusion:- Based on this study one can rejig his/her portfolio accordingly.
We get a fair idea on which sector is heating up and which sector is still lying in cold.
Another point is, we can set our expectation limits on each sector and can decide on our
investment decisions.
Happy Investing
